An Egyptian border policeman at the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip shouts in protest of the abduction of seven colleagues by Islamist gunmen in the Sinai Peninsula on Thursday. Angry border policemen shut the crossing on Friday to pressure Egypt’s president to push for the release of the seven. As this policeman and others protested yesterday, colleagues shut Egypt’s al-Awja commercial border crossing with Israel.
